REXML::Formatters::Transitive

The Transitive formatter writes an XML
document that parses to an identical document as the source document. This
means that no extra whitespace nodes are inserted, and whitespace within
text nodes is preserved. Within these constraints, the document is
pretty-printed, with whitespace inserted into the metadata to introduce
formatting.

Note that this is only useful if the original XML is not already formatted.
Since this formatter does not alter whitespace nodes, the results of
formatting already formatted XML will be odd.
